sealord > This pomfret, Taractes rubescens, which some FAO publications call a knifetail pomfret, has a raised ridge of scales on the caudal peduncle. It also has a long pectoral fin (longer than 36% of standard length), which separates it from the similar rough pomfret, Taractes asper. The fishermen were landing mainly espada, Aphanopus carbo. They had also caught a few pomfret and a large escolar, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum. They were very friendly. They allowed me on their boat to photograph the fish they were off-loading early in the morning to the fish auction in the harbour, Funchal, Madeira. I enjoy visiting the Funchal fish auction in the harbour because of the deep sea fish that one sees. File No. 19-514 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > Since first discovering the invasive bryozoan, Watersipora subtorquata, in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey in June 2007 the colonies have multiplied and spread remarkably rapidly. A punctured blue plastic bucket was bobbing up and down next to one of the fish quay pontoons. One side of the bucket had a sheet of Watersipora sp. covering an area of about 15 by 20 cm. The living part of the colony is orange. I believe the black portion of the colony represents the skeletons of dead zooids. Photographed on the 21 September 2007 with a Canon A640 digital camera in an underwater housing. File No. 210907 1136 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > Two nudibranchs meet and mouth each other - Facelina auriculata on the left and Facelina bostoniensis on the right. They are gliding over erect bryozoan colonies and a Mogula ascidian on the lower edge and in the middle of the image. They were feeding and laying egg veils on the side of the pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on the 8th June 2007.

sealord > This image shows a close-up of the head of Facelina bostoniensis. The rhinophores are furnished with rings (annulate). The oral tentacles are very long and partially curled in this image. The brown digestive gland shows through the transparent cerata that cover the dorsal surface of the nudibranch. This species was feeding and laying egg veils on the side of a pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on the 8th June 2007.
